About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1913 Excerpt: ... when considering the relation of sanitation to environment, and so these facts will be available for ready reference and be fresh in mind when needed, this chapter will be devoted to a review of them. The world is, of course, a globe, 8,000 miles in diameter, and surrounded by an atmosphere which extends almost 200 miles into space. This atmosphere is one-third deeper at the Equator than at other places, or about 266 miles deep at this part of the globe, from where it tapers off gradually toward the poles. It would naturally be supposed that while there are different zones in the world, and different mean temperatures and other conditions within the several zones, that in all parts of any one zone conditions would be about alike. But such is not the case, as the following will show: Mount Kilimanjaro rises on the eastern heights of Africa, almost at the equator, and snow lies all the year round on its summit, above an elevation of 16,400 feet. The average temperature of the atmosphere at sea level in this part of Africa is 850 Fahrenheit--an extreme average heat; but the presence of snow on this mountain shows that the temperature at an elevation of 16,400 feet must average less than 32 Fahrenheit. Now snow does not remain unmelted at the level of the sea at any part of the earth, except in the Polar regions. From this it is evident that the change in elevation of 16,400 feet at the Equator produces a change of temperature-climate equal to 6,000 miles of travel towards the poles. Here, then, are two different conditions to ponder over. At the Equator, by simply ascending a mountain top, a change of condition is immediately experienced, each 300 feet of ascent equaling a drop of temperature of 1 Fahrenheit, and at an elevation of less than three miles is en...
